Zwölf Bücher vom Berg- und Hüttenwesen [...] sowie sein Buch von den Lebewesen unter Tage

Folio. numerous facsimile woodcut illustrations and plates.
A reprint of the extremely rare and influential De Re Metallica libri XII., with all the illustrations from the original, and the text in German. Similarly, an English edition was published in 1912 (the translation of which was done by Mr. & Mrs. Hoover). This German edition is, although later than the English, more attractive from a bibliophile view.
